Configuring a AGI En-Masse Conveyor

The following steps outline the process of configuring an appropriate AGI conveyor for your application. These steps are intended as a guide only. We strongly advise contacting AGI to review your application and obtain the appropriate recommendations for your specific needs.

STEP 1: Determine application requirements

• Material type handled
• Power requirements vary for different grains
• The method of feeding the conveyor: The conveyor can be flood fed where the capacity of the conveyor is determined by the speed of the chain. The conveyor can be control fed by a bucket elevator, for example. The conveyor capacity is affected by how it is fed
• The required system capacity in bushels per hour or metric tons per hour
• The length between the input and output of the conveyor

STEP 2: Select a standard model size

• Review the model specifications in the En-Masse Conveyor section of the current AGI sales manual to choose a standard model based on the desired capacity

STEP 3: Choose options

• Determine any desired options

STEP 4: Verify power, bearing diameter and maximum conveyor length

• Use the tables in the current AGI sales manual to determine horsepower and bearing diameter requirements as well as maximum acceptable conveyor lengths.

STEP 5: Verify dimensions for the selected model size

• Use the diagrams and tables in the current AGI sales manual for verification
